The athletes, accompanied by other North Korean officials and band made up of around 80 North Korean cheerleaders attended a welcoming ceremony at the Olympic Village in Gangneung, the venue for all ice events at the Games. As Pyongyang's national anthem blared across the venue, the North Korean flag was hoisted into the air, fluttering against the wind. The welcoming ceremony included performances by South and North Korean groups which drew contrasting reactions from the North's athletes. As the South's break dancing group B-Boy jovially jumped into the crowd of North Korean athletes, they remained stiff, clapping passively and giving occasional smiles.
